This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What´s aesthetically worse?

I rarely find it difficult to understand Settembrini.  He's strident.  He slants his arguments.  But he's rarely unclear to me.

Well, yeah. But you've got a Pentium II in that metal cranium of yours. The rest of us are limited to the flesh Bender gave us.

Quote from: David RSett has invested a lot in being misunderstood. His favoured rhetorical ploy obscurantism.

Seanchai, I think you're confused. Your favored rhetorical tactic is failure to understand, not be understood.

Quote from: RPGPunditThis is sadly true, and I find it a cheap and distasteful tactic on Sett's part.  The fact that he's using it more and more as time goes on leads to the very amusing side effect that it actually appears as though Sett's English is gradually getting worse and worse every day. :p

Mmm.
Really, no tactic going on there.

Which statements of mine did you find "obscure"?

I´m always trying to be as stalwart and clear in my position as possible.

I opened this thread with a very clear attack on Richard Baker, and WotCs "creativity commitee".

I tell you what, the next time you sound like you're being intentionally obscure, I'll let you know.

Well that´s a rather weak response for someone who basically just questioned my integrity.
